Sanctum Ophidia [BUGS], ZOS please fix!

Sanctum Ophidia!

Trash:
The Pioson from trolls WILL instantly kill players, needs to be looked at and fixed asap. Death recap will only show 300ish posion damage but instant death, see this happen to 4 players in one hit at the same time.

One person will get the poison and touch one other person, and they drop instantly.

The Serpent Fights:
The Pink bubble phase, some pink bubbles will not work, after players get the bubble, they will still die, this happened to 4 players on our last run, all at the same time.

ZOS, please look into this and give some confirmation that you see this post.

    I don't know about the poison, haven't had that happen, but I do know about the bubbles.

    They don't instantly work. They appear initially, but they are "hollow" and you can't grab them. Then, they get "filled" and you can. Your players most likely tried to grab a "hollow" one.

    For the poison, just don't all rush to the trolls to loot and you won't be one shotted by multiple poisons, as trolls have the tendency to 'troll poison' one person nearby as they die.

    When you stack with poison it kills you yes.
    And poison and the electric field together outch.. but normaly nobody dies with the right tactic..

    The bubbles are a problem yes. Sometimes it "works" and we have like 4 death in the hole fight, sometimes 4 death every bubble phase...

    The "funny" thing with the bubbles are the different connections to server.
    You stand on a bubble and one other run over you and get the bubble. On his screen he was infront of you and the first on the position... This made this mechanic more random...
    And with the different spawn points of the bubbles i think its not possible that nobody dies.

    The point is, that both Poison from Trolls and Electric charges from overcharges are now start to deal damage instantly instead of little delay after last patch.
    So if you are stacked and some1 get poisoned you instantly get 12x poison tick's.

    That is also true (about the bubbles) so when you factor lag, the way the mechanic is intended and the very small window that you are given you are almost bound to have some deaths. Still, with practice, I think it's doable to not have any deaths. The least we've had is 1 so far. Striving to reduce it to 0 :stuck_out_tongue:

    1 player with poison = 1 poison AOE
    12 players with poison = 12 poison AOEs stacking on each other = huge dmg, cannot heal through

    The pink bubbles can indeed be very frustrating but I don't think that they are bugged.

    Well what was more anoying for us this weekend was bringing the serpent down to 25%, have him bug out (only auto attacking), and having him not die after we bring him to 0% (no animation, he just kept auto attacking, no poison, no auto attacks).

    As for the orbs, I've experienced running over one and not getting the shield. Also seems like you only have a couple of seconds to grab them. If you missed the one you where running towards & there is no orb close by, might as well roll dodge back to the middle before diying to make res easier since, after a couple of seconds, even if you get to the orb before the explosion, it won't work.

    Never see one with a shield who dies.
    Getting the shield works too and is not bugged i think.
    But when you have 2-3 sec to react and there is a different on clients for like a 1 sec it "feels" bugged.

    That one is intended. The Serpent won't just die like a mere mudcrab. :grin:

    Me and one of my guilds begun pushing Sanctum recently, we are still stuck at Mantikora around 20-30% but i have some questions to more experienced players that could perhaps tell me is it bug or not:

    Black Hole sucking in 2 or 3 players and closing.

    I've encountered that more than few times. Sometimes black hole arrives, we usually try to move when the spear goes up so noone gets insta-sucked but as soon as three or sometimes even two players reach the hole it closes. We sprint towards the hole, never took us more than 2 seconds to reach it.
    Sometimes the black hole just sits there till we reach 4 . Tested it and holes was there for like 1 minute.

    Bluff AoE

    Sometimes Mantikora does 2 big AoE's in a row out of which one deals almost no damage.

    The 2nd one doesn't deal damage because it's the black hole one. If you're full HP you can even survive that one without blocking (at least at the beginning of the event since damage increases over time but I'm not sure if it also increse for that stomp).

    As for the Black Hole sucking 2 or 3 players & closing I agree it's a bug. We've even had the 4th player get in the hole, begin to get sucked in, then thrown out instead of being teleported upstairs.

    One more thing i have encountered.

    Black hole arrived and as I begun to get suck in, boss threw that "AoE spear" of his, in the middle of it. When i arrived at the bottom i got nailed to the ground for few senconds, even tho i have been healed through the initial damage i kept receiving the damage from this spear even after i moved to engage the bottom boss.

    Happened once tho.

    @Marthenil: why basic stamina potions? Cheap slacker!
    Also, the absence of blue orbs in the party is sad. Where's your favorite sorcerer? :grin:

    I like the serpent fight. There's plenty of time to resurrect players who don't manage to get a pink orb. Congrats to the designers for this boss.

    Instant death from the poison is caused by stacking. Though, the purple bubble issue is legitimate. I've had it happen before.
